• •ing Height Handout-P <br /> City of Everett, W <br /> How to Calculate Building Height and Show on Your Plans <br /> Step 1) Find the midpoints. _ <br /> Stake out the smallest rectangle ..,. A= <br /> that encompasses the corners of <br /> the proposed building. Label the <br /> midpoints "A, B, C, and D" on the D B <br /> site plan. <br /> Step 2) Select Bench Mark = 100'. c, <br /> Select a fixed bench mark or datum ..it. -- <br /> point such as the top of a utility <br /> cover, monument in road, or other <br /> permanent point that cannot be BENCHLR <br /> easily moved. Use the nominal bench <br /> mark elevation of 100' or a surveyed / <br /> datum elevation. Show your bench A----- <br /> mark and the starting elevation on - , <br /> the site plan. , <br /> a< <br /> D • <br /> - <br /> Step 3) Establish the difference in ......................► E <br /> elevation. If the elevation of a <br /> point measured is above the bench _____ <br /> mark then add to 100'. If the <br /> elevation is below the bench mark <br /> then subtract from 100'. <br /> B <br /> L� ENCHMARK <br /> (MANHOL ) <br /> Step 4) Calculate the average base <br /> elevation and maximum elevation. a A = <br /> Add all midpoints together and B = <br /> divide by 4 to determine the C = <br /> average base elevation. Add the D <br /> maximum height to the average Total Divided by 4= Average Base Elevation <br /> base elevation to determine the + 28' max. <br /> maximum elevation allowed.
